Plz tell me where I'm wrong:

Linux is open source --> The Code which encrypts the login password is 
freely available --> A Baddie looks at the code and finds out the 
algorithm --> cat /etc/passwd | grep root --> Voila! the baddie has root 
password.

Of course this does not happen
How does Linux manage to be secure inspite of being open source?
